Actress Eniola Badmus, who serves as the Special Assistant for Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has reaffirmed her support for President Bola Tinubu despite the ongoing economic struggles in the country.

Eniola, who actively campaigned for Tinubu before the 2023 presidential election, recently made it clear that her support for him remains unchanged. In a recent Instagram post, she wrote, “Still standing on Daddy Seyi’s mandate.”

Her statement sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians accusing her of being out of touch with the harsh realities faced by ordinary citizens due to the country’s struggling economy.

One user, Olori_Nini, commented, “This really isn’t the right time to post this. People are struggling and frustrated. It comes off as insensitive. You can support your candidate without making it feel like you’re mocking Nigerians.”

Another user, Oliver_Of_Lagos, said, “Anywhere belle face. Nothing lasts forever. The internet never forgets.”

Hypeman Ruby shared his frustration, saying, “As the breadwinner of my family, this mandate has only made things harder for me. I love you, Baddoskie, but this is tough.”

On the other hand, Alh_Alubarika defended Eniola, saying, “People need to relax. Everyone has their reasons. That’s her source of income. If any of us were in her position, we’d probably do the same.”
